In india the legend actor is ANNAVRU (Dr.Rajkumar).Annavru was the first actor in india who won the national award and also for singing.in my life i don’t see any actor like rajkumar almost his films are gives message to society.Dr.Rajkumar is the enormas and king of the world.
Hi i’m Supreeth.N.S from mysore. I’m a huge fan or Rather inspired by his simplicity though he’s a celebrity.I think Maranothara Bharath ratna should be awarded in his name, due to his superb acting and helping nature. Many dont recognize his contribution towards the poor and needed as he didn’t want to pubic his efforts and i heard many wrong gossip critics on him even through my friends who were of other languages,this is all because he’s a Kannada supporter. Ex-Mayor D.Ramaswamy my G.father has co-produced his film named Chakratheertha. He used to say about anna’s generousness. That’s why i’m a supporter of anna and Kannada. He had many offers to act from many languages,if he would have acted in those he would have been much more popular than what he’s today and would have got more money than i Kannada industry.He was always happy with what he had. My life’s unluckiest moment is that I could not seen anna till if was alive,still i mourn about it. He could have easily entered politics and also could have become C.M. As the other two veterans did it but Anna didn’t want to use him fame to anything else,that’s our Rajanna The MAHATMA.
Dr.Rajkumar is the only actor in the whole world who suited and could act amazingly superb in all type of roles for example Mythological, Historical etc., and as He is an actor of golden voice who could sing superbly., his songs ranges from classical to common. He is only actor in india who has awarded national award for singing. And he’s the only indian actor to be awarded the prestigious Kentoqui colonel award from U.S.A.. Hat’s off to you MUTTHURAJ.

Raj Kumar is a Legendary actor and i don’t think so we can see that kind of acting and singing from any other actors….
Rajanna was one of the greatest actor in the entire Indian film industry along with Uttam Kumar, Dilip Kumar & Sivajiganesan.
Rajanna was the first Indian actor to be honoured with Doctorate in 1976. Only actor in the entire Indian film industry till date, to have a success rate of above 95%. Only actor to be a superstar in both acting and singing, winning national awards for both acting & singing.
Even after so many years, rajanna is still with us alive in the form of movies, songs (daily), statues, postures/banners. on a daily basis. MATTHE HUTTIBANNI ANNA.
karnataka ratna dr.rajkumar’s bangarada manushya is the first movie which has completed successfully 3years in south india its a history record and
dr.raj sir was the first hero who was won “dadha saheb palke” award… in indian film history….

My eyes were full of tears without my knowledge while reading the biography of a great man. There are no words to explain our annavru. A great contribution to the Kannada film industry where no one can even imagine. A legendary actor who lives in every kannadigas heart. Hats of to u sir.We are so lucky to be born in this generation that Atleast once in lifetime we saw u. It was a dream for me which came true after seeing u sir. Annavru will come first in front when u talk about Kannada, this type of impact cannot be given by anyone on this world. A legendary true Kannada hero (Dr.Rajkumar)
